Student Questions

Friday April 22, 2005

This week several high school ASL/interpreting students have posted questions on the forum (some apparently from the same class!). A sampling:

When you talk to people who are just learning ASL and are confused at what you are saying or are signing slower then you would normally sign how do you feel? Does it make you frustrated or are you willing to help them learn? - Rosie05
Do deaf/HOH people find it not like it or find it weird when hearing people stare or look at them while they are signing? - bradhoov
What's your view on cochlear implants? Is it hard having to make the decision of getting on or not? - mdine23
I was wondering about the Cochlear Implant. Is the surgery usually successful. What causes hearing loss, and how does it feel to suddenly be able to hear? - marty32
what are some major issues that the deaf community has? - joshjf05
mainstreaming versus enrolment in a deaf school. What is the best option and does either of the options benefit significantly more than the other? - Dburt05
I am just curious to see if alot of deaf people only date deaf people or if they also date hearing people. If you have dated a hearing person what difficulties did you encounter. - lnz711
